My son just bought a calculator but we did not know about how great this Casio was. I paid a lot and I hope the one i got will get him through High School and the SAT.
I love that color LCD screen. When I was in high school, our graphing calculators were just that green screen, and they were definitely much harder to navigate.
That is one awesome looking graphing calculator! This looks really easy to use. Casio has always been known for making great calculators.
Oh this makes me remember my graphing calculator in high school. This one seems much better and easier to use!
That calculator looks like a nice tool. Looks pretty easy to use too
Wow! This is really cool! Would be a great help to teachers and students.
Just found out at the beginning of the week that my daughter needs a graphing calculator at school and I had no idea this was available. Definitely providential that I saw this post. I know she’s going to love this.
Wow! Graphing calculators sure do look different from when I was in high school. Casio makes such great calculators already so I am sure this graphing one is state-of-the-art.
Wow, calculators have certainly come a long way from when I was in school. Love the colour screen
I had a Casio calculator when I was in college, but it did not have a LCD like this. This is sleek. Love the features.
This looks way fancier than the calculator that I used in school. It isn’t dot matrix!
Wow this would be perfect for my oldest. I bet he would get a lot of use out of it but I havent a clue even how that would work. Looks interesting!
Wait graphing calculators are still a thing? They were so expensive when I was growing up!
This is bringing back some serious memories. My math teacher my sophomore year of high school said I was the best at looking like I was paying attention. I’ve gotten better at focusing, and it looks like the tech has gotten even better too!
Ahhh! My kids aren’t here yet and using these calculators, but next year they will be. I’m not ready!!
I think I like the improved capabilities such as 3D graphing the most. Great review!
Yikes, stats class was NOT my thing – I nearly failed it when I was in college the first time around about 4 decades ago! Looks like stats calculators have come a long way, though, and if I had something like this back then, I would probably have done SO much better!
